When I think of deliberately FALSE, MISLEADING and
utterly "FAKE News," I think of Brian Williams’ whoppers about his heroism
"under fire" in the Mideast, or Hillary Clinton's "Bosnian
adventures," or Walter Duranty of the NY Times in the 1930s, writing about
Stalin’s Soviet “Worker’s paradise,” from his Brooklyn home, a la Jayson Blair,
doing essentially the same (writing reports “from Texas” in his New York
domicile, OR the constant editorializing that goes on in virtually every
"news" story put out by the NY Times, the Washington Post (WaPo),
even the junior varsity NY Daily News, even the assault on a Coptic Christian
film maker named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, whose short trailer (the full film "The
Innocence of Muslims" was NEVER
MADE) was scapegoated by this administration and a complicit FAKE News
media (ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, FNC, the NY Times, WaPo, etc.). The Nakoula video shown
here on sites like YouTube is deliberately mistitled. The full movie INNOCENCE
OF MUSLIMS,NEVER existed, only this Trailer does (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Be77r4K94). The existing footage is a 13 minute
"trailer" for a movie that was never made, and despite the American
Left blaming all kinds of Islamic violence on it, the footage was neither known,
nor viewed in Islamic countries before Benghazi.﻿

Nakoula, whose work was wrongly blamed for touching
off the Benghazi attack, today lives in obscurity and poverty, in a homeless
shelter run by First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif. He’s served
time in prison, been shamed publicly by the White House and threatened with
death.

Although Obama and Clinton were later forced to
acknowledge that the attack was an organized assault by Al Qaeda-linked
terrorists, Nakoula was soon charged with eight counts of probation violation,
jailed without bail and deemed a “danger to the community.”

Nakoula had previously been convicted of charges
relating to bank and credit fraud, and federal prosecutors found his use of the
Internet to post the video violated his terms of probation.

.

Nakoula, who is in his late fifties and has been in
the U.S since 1984, declined to elaborate on his post-jail experiences, but
said he plans to write a book about his ordeal.

ALL of those are examples of officially sanctioned, deliberatelyFALSE and MISLEADING "fake news," by outlets that have specialized in
filtering the facts about actual events, lying about statistics (ie. violent
crime stats) that DON'T say what
they claim, even staging fake news events.

Interestingly enough, contrary to many reports the Pizzagate story DID NOT come from WikiLeaks, it came right off of Anthony Weiner's
laptop, the content of which is STILL being investigated.

To fight for stricter content regulation on the
internet, the networks have brought out their BIG guns, most notably, a faked news comic
(our major media’s “The Onion” ripoff), turned late night TV host (Stephen
Colbert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfXWXNItF_Y).

Apparently, our “officially” fake news major media
want us to believe that the Pizzagate allegations are so absurd on their face
that they have to be false. As in, who ever heard of a pizza parlor being used as a
front for high profile pedophiles linked to high-level government positions?

EXCEPT
that the SAME fake media DID report on exactly THAT type of absurd allegation (a Savings & Loan CEO running a child-staffed brothel for high-level politicians, etc.) back in 1989, when Tom Brokaw
reported on the infamous “Franklin Scandal” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTitnDgw3Gc) or was THAT “fake news” too?

BUT "Pizzagate" is being fronted for an assault on reports and opinions that our
Leftist major media and their political allies don’t much like. Hillary Clinton has
breathlessly claimed, “Lives are at stake” over the "false allegations" of
Pizzagate (http://www.npr.org/2016/12/08/504881478/lives-are-at-risk-clinton-warns-over-fake-news-pizzagate)
AND the owner of Comet Pizza (the establishment alleged to be the center of all
this, James Alefantis has given interviews that seem mostly policy suggestions,
citing the Pizzagate allegations as a reason why “fake news must be shut down.”
He also wants laws past that would allow anyone who reposts his public
Instagram posts to be prosecuted. A brief note to James Alefantis;

[“OK stupid, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
posts are the electronic equivalent of billboards, or more like handmade signs
posted along PUBLIC highway. People posting these things in a public space have
no “expectation of privacy” related to those posts. They CAN legally be
reposted, just as anyone can ripoff your cleverly worded road sign because it’s
public domain.”]

Alefantis has called his attackers, “conspiracy
theorist, white nationalists, made up largely of racist, homophobic individuals
who loosely tie together theories without trying to get at the truth.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U65uNJG3jhY)

OK, so maybe "Pizzagate" would sound too bizarre to be seriously considered, IF it were a "one off," that is a single, solitary charge, but given that it's but one more among a slew of such allegations, like the Franklin scandal, the Westminster and Belgian scandals, it's hardly a shocking set of allegations.

After all, Britain was recently rocked by its own political-class pedophile ring when a Member of Parliament, Geoffrey Dickens, originally handed a dossier on pedophiles, allegedly associated with the British government, to then Home Secretary, Leon Brittan, back in 1984. The whereabouts of the dossier is unknown, along with other files on organized child abuse that had been held by the Home Office.In 2013, the Home Office stated that all relevant
information had been passed to the police, and that Dickens' dossier had not
been retained. It was later disclosed that 114 documents concerning child abuse
allegations were missing. In July 2014, the Labour Party called for a new
inquiry into the way that the allegations had been handled, and Prime Minister David
Cameron ordered the permanent secretary of the Home Office, Mark
Sedwill, to investigate the circumstances of the lost dossier.

On July 7th, 2014, the Home
Secretary, Theresa May, announced a review into the handling of historic
child abuse allegations, to be led by Peter Wanless, chief executive of
the NSPCC, and the establishment of a public panel inquiry into
the duty of care taken in the protection of children from paedophiles by British
public institutions, led by an independent panel of experts and chaired by Baroness
Butler-Sloss. Butler-Sloss later stood down as chair of the inquiry. On September
5th, 2014, it was announced that it would instead be chaired by Fiona
Woolf but on October 31st, 2014 she, too, resigned from the
role. On February 4th, 2015 it was announced that the inquiry
would be chaired by Justice Lowell Goddard, a New Zealand High Court judge.
The existing panel would be disbanded, and the inquiry would be given new
powers. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_paedophile_dossier)

Even more recently England has been rocked by a
pedophile ring comprised of Muslim immigrants in Rotherham. Authorities there
claim it was “swept under the rug” out of fear by the investigators of being
labeled “racists,” when in fact, the actual reason why it was covered up was
that British authorities did not want this kind of publicity to bolster the already
growing BREXIT support...too little, too late from that standpoint. (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rotherham-child-abuse-scandal-paedophile-4113152)

AND
finally, isn’t it odd that the criminal enterprises of former Bear Sterns
financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his "Lolita
Express" are mainstream knowledge, yet the public remains largely
oblivious of the widely published, sordid details.

Bill Clinton’s name
shows up on flight logs from Epstein's private jet at least 26 times;
the same jet he used to procure child victims as young as 12 to entertain
celebrities and billionaires on his 72 acre island called "Little Saint
James".

The fact that Donald Trump was also close friends
with Epstein should raise some eyebrows. It’s interesting, perhaps VERY
interesting that our mainstream
media attacked Trump on every conceivable issue EXCEPT for pursuing any kind of Trump/Epstein angle.

Where is the vast federal
investigation into the people who frequented Epstein's wretched parties?

There is none, and Epstein,
though convicted of molesting a 14 year old girl and selling her into
prostitution, was only slapped on the wrist with a 13 month sentence.

Here’s the real problem with the official purveyors
of FAKE News’ attack on non-sanctioned “fake news,” in cases like “Pizzagate,”
there’s no indication that it’s fake...or not. We simply DO NOT have enough
information, unlike, say the absolute FAKE news story about Mr. Nakoula’s 12
minute Trailer for a non-existent film being responsible for the Benghazi
attacks. We KNOW that that is “FAKE News,” we just don’t know enough about
James Alefantis, Comet Pizza and “Pizzagate.”
